You Talk

Info

You Talk is a Babyshambles track, released as track #3 on the band's second album, Shotter's Nation, and credited to Peter Doherty and Kate Moss. It was also released as the second single from Shotter's Nation, doing poorly in the charts and only managing to peak at #54 in the UK. You Talk was first heard by fans during bootlegs, as no session recordings or demo versions exist.

The single was released in December 2007 on CD and 7", with the B Sides to the CD being very similar to the demos already heard by fans on The Stookie + Jim Bumfest Demos, but of a higher quality. The only new song to be released as a B Side featured on the 7"; Revelations, which featured rapper, MC Purple.

A music video has been made for You Talk, directed by Douglas Hart.It features the band, getting back to nature, strolling through an autumnal Somerset forest, gazing skywards. The scene switches to a dark, crowded and somewhat claustrophobic room. There is a party going on, under a swinging, interrogation type lamp, with a group of men in business suits and the band. At various stages, Doherty appears to be flat on his back, as he observes this gathering. There is a dark and light theme throughout the clip, with the band seen in the darkness of the forest at first and then later in the video, out in the open, in the bright sunlight.

Babyshambles played the song under the name I Don't Know That Man before the release
